troubshooting Strange display issue when attempting to run Division 2 in Ubisoft Connect

[Beef Goblin]

Hey all! 

Decided to download Division 2 to play with a friend over the weekend. However, I ran into a pretty strange display issue. 

I attached a video of what happens. 

Basically, the game launches, and works for a brief moment before the screen goes black and it begins flickering from the black screen to my desktop over and over again. 

It does not stop. 

There is no way to get out of this loop except for rebooting the machine. 

Some of the troubleshooting steps I have tried: 

- Roll back Nvidia drivers 
- Disable multiple displays and try running the game with only 1
- Reinstalling the game on by 2 different drives
- Forcing the game to run in Dx11 instead of 12
- Verifying the game files
- Checked Event Viewer but couldn't locate anything noteworthy

I'm pretty lost as to what can be the issue, since I play a multitude of other games and none of them have these issues. 

Would appreciate any help on this!
